IF this product is intended to be connected to the mains electricity, you would need an EU to UK plug adapter (2 to 3 pin). First of all, if you spend at least £ 400, the adapter is FREE! We sell and suggest this awesome product from HAMLET Multi-Nation Plug and Wall Outlet + USB Charger 2 x 2400 mAIf your cart doesn't contain at least £ 400, please visit that page and add that product to the cart. It comes even with a 8A fuse, overload protection, it's child-safe and has a load capacity up to 1750W ! IF that product is not in stock, we'll send a replacement EU to UK plug adapter, anyway. If you prefer, you can buy a similar product at your local store or somewhere else, instead. OR (at your risk): Anyway, nowadays almost any electronic device is unearthed and doubleinsulated, because they have a smart internal protection. So, you could push the earth hole on your wall power outlet or multi socket extension bar, with a long piece of plastic or wood (never use metal!) or by another upset power plug, in order to insert the EU plug into the outlet or multi socket.
